Wow! Such a great trip.I lived out in AZ in the mid 90's for a while. Been to las vegas many times and the Grand Canyon but never made it to Cali. Wish I did. You have every right to be proud. That is a huge accomplishment for your son. Your family is beautiful, as are you!

T!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You got the photo I still want: at the edge of the grand canyon. Everyone in my family has been there but me. Gotta work it in to some kind of trip some day.

What a great time it looks like you all had! Such an adventure for your son especially... but a memory the FAMILY will share forever! :-)))

And... yep... Home again home again ziggity zig, as they say.I've been stayiing at my mom's cabin in Michigan off and on while the ongoing calamities at our Chicago apartment wind and unwind. Packing after 20 years in one place... not knowing whre I'm going to.

One thing's for sure.... I'm going to be embracing my friends... and daily, allowing the 'present moment' to invite me to take care of my Self (body mind and spirit).

Wishing you Health and Joy in 2013, T.Your loving friend,P1863 days ago
